Assume two countries, Thailand (T) and Japan (J), have one good: cameras. The demand (d) and supply (s) for cameras In Thailand and Japan is described by the following functions: QsT=-5+14P QsJ=-10+14P QdT=60-P QdJ=80-P P is the price measured in a common currency used in both countries, such as the Thai Baht. Compute the equilibrium price (P) and quantities in each country without trade. Now assume that free trade occurs. The free-trade price goes to 56.36 Baht. Who exports and Imports cameras and in what quantities?

The graph below represents the market for sugar in the U.S. The domestic supply and demand curves are drawn, the world price for sugar is indicated, and the effect of a tariff the US is imposing on sugar imports is shown. Use the graphic to calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, economics surplus, government revenue, and deadweight loss. Do so under each of the following three situations: 1) no trade, 2) free trade, and 3) the sugar tariff. A friend tells you the following: “Free trade sounds good, but a country like Honduras doesn’t have any comparative advantage compared to the United States. Therefore, trade with us will exploit them and make their economic situation worse.” Explain to your friend the error in his thinking.
